Yes, the Greens have some wacky ideas but Mr Stevenson’s accusations were so far over the top that I think he destroyed the argument he was trying to make. Given what we are living through as a result of Tory policies (and assessing the list seat possibilities in my region) I think the Greens are a good option for...

This is the fourth set that I have published this cycle, starting with 1995-2019 and continuing through 1970-1994 & 1945-1969 (I will post squads for 1895-1919 after I get done with these); if you are interested in those, you can view them here.
